They're pretty amazing, the Play's! I've tried some games, only Crash Bandicoot didn't run completely smooth (but still very enjoyable and playable), but it was a development device with a _lot_ running in the background. Some games (like The Sims) don't really use the game pad, they're completely touch-based, but all other games work great with the game pad!
[Xperia Play General] TheFlyingPig:
I must say that this is looking pretty sweet.

But...yeah here is a big but......I just can't see myself pulling this thing out with colleagues or customer around me.

What would be cool is the detachable layer that you can switch out the game pad for a qwerty keyboard!!!!

If they can accomplish that, I would be able to use the game pad during my private time on the plane or in a restaurant. I'll use the qwerty pad in the office.
[Xperia Play General] svenk919:
Why not just use touch screen only in those situations?
[Xperia Play General] TheFlyingPig:
I could....but I'm a huge fan of the qwerty pad:-D

Old BB habit die hard......

But imagine how cool it would be to switch out the input half of the device though;)

[Atrix 4G General] psymont:
Hey guys,

I noticed that the Atrix has settings under battery options to terminate the data connection after 15 minutes minimum. On my Tilt2 I was able to use a program that killed it after 1 minute. Is there any way to do this on Atrix Android? My battery is suffering here. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I'm wondering if we could make a list of unsafe bloatwares to remove. For example, I came across this:

I am new to Android (been only 3 days!), so I don't know enough to know if the above comment is true. And, I think there will be other people in the same shoe as myself. So, it may be helpful to create a list that we can just glance at to know which bloatwares are safe to remove and which are not.

[HTC Inspire 4G] matt_b:
most of the htc apps are ok to remove. when i was running a sense rom, i removed pretty much all of the htc apps. the only one i had an issue with after removing it was the friendstream.

you can always make a nandroid backup of your current working rom, then start deleting things and seeing if it has an effect. if anything breaks your phone, jot it down, restore the nandroid, and keep going.

its fun!

Hi guys

Now that some of you have been running 2.3.3 for almost 24 hours can you tell us what the battery life is like, at the moment I am running CM7 and finding the drain really bad, with 2.2 i was getting 36 hours on stock, with CM7 i am getting about 18 hours.

So just want to know if 2.3.3 stock is around the same as stock 2.2

Cheers guys :)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colins:
I noticed that the 100% battery level remains after ~6 hours standby with a few minutes of wi-fi.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imwarren:
I am stock and unrooted all the way. Seems that the update also updated my baseband version from 4.06 to 5.08. Is that the key to the reported battery life improvement.

Perhaps the new UI with more black on an amoled screen helps too.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdarren:
My battery life went down hill quickly

I also posted this in a more recent thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=970354

Since manually upgrading to 2.3.3 on Thursday, my battery life has gone down hill quickly. It appears that Android OS, which never consumed more than 2% of battery life, is the biggest culprit here.

I haven't done anything differently (no new widgets or apps). So the only difference is Gingerbread.

I hope that there's a way to fix this.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rage1ofakind:
Hi, was using my bros x10 (UK 2.1) yesterday and everything was working perfectly fine.

An hour ago used it again to listen to some music but none of them showed up in the music player. I checked my SD using astro and everything is there. But when i go to click on a music file it opens up with a different music player but not with media-scape.

I tried downloading different music apps (MixZing & 3). When i go to the library there is no music there??

Seriously confused as to why the music players aren't picking up the mp3 files :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDM9499:
Before, I was running a stock 2.1 Eclair, with a Voodoo LagFix, and LauncherPro (using all 7 screens with widgets). My battery then, would last all day, easily, as long as I wasn't using GPS. I had all my email settings, and widget settings to update EVERY HOUR. For a smart phone, with many widgets running and lasting all day, it was wonderful.

Fast forwarding to now: I updated to the new Froyo 2.2, and re-installed all the apps I previously had, along with the Voodoo LagFix for 2.2, LauncherPro (still using all 7 screens with the SAME widgets) and set all of my applications (that do need updating) to update EVERY HOUR. Now, I literally sit back and watch the battery percentage just drop. Ex. My battery was at 97%, but after writing this, it's now at 93%. In about 2 minutes....what the hell?

Has anyone else noticed a change in your battery performance? I've downloaded the OS Monitor to see if anything new has been added, and that's draining the battery, but there is nothing showing that wasn't before. I'm wondering in there is something new that was added, which is running in the background. Ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
Yeah, because 2.2 charges differently. 2.1 will charge all the way up to 4.3V whereas 2.2 will only charge up to 4.0V (sometimes a little higher). So the initial drain seems faster, but once you get to about 80% it is the same.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WD333:
Yeah, I agree with what @ryude posted. Mine went from 100% to 95% rather quickly yesterday but it stayed at about 95% for a while. I went to bed with around 48% and when I woke up (about 6-7 hrs), it was about 40%. So the battery life seems slightly better. BTW, I'm running stock with LauncherPro.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDM9499:
Thanks for the heads up. I'll keep an eye on it. I was just wondering if others have experienced any similarities and if it was just something normal (as mentioned above) or if there is some new function running in the background by default which is draining the battery. Cheers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scott_S:
I'm actually noticing an improvement in battery performance, with everything on my phone being equivalent pre-update to post-update.

No lagfixes or anything like that installed, though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryude:
Screen on 0% brightness uses about 400 mW and on 100% brightness uses almost 1000mW. I've seen CPU usage spike over 400mW but usually stays around 100mW. Wifi uses about 50mW when on and 10mW in low power state (screen off).

So those are the big 3 power drainers right there.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crystalhand:
If you did not put the update on at 100% you might have a problem with the battery stats a simple way to fix that on stock would be a complete drain on the battery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JDM9499:
Ok, here are a couple things I have found thus far.

One - After installing the Voodoo LagFix for 2.2, and rebooting into recovery mode, I was actually booted into ClockworkMod - Voodoo Lag - Recovery Mode. That's something new. Anyways, there is an option to "clear battery stats". After briefly reading about this on another thread here on xda, the individual said it's a must to do. I'm not sure if this is because of the Voodoo Lag Fix or what, but I did it and will report back at the end of the day.

Two - This is something new in Froyo 2.2, and it was never an option in 2.1. After going into Settings - Location and Security - and un-checking "Use wireless networks" and the re-checking it, it says "Location Consent - Allow Google's location service to collect anonymous location data. Collection will occur even when no applications are running." That right there could be the reason why the Maps app is constantly running? I turned it off, which I have never done and have always left on, but will see if this makes a difference as well.

I'll report back with results tonight.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rufex2001:
I've had a similar issue. Updated from an unrooted, untouched stock eclair to the new stock froyo release, left it charging overnight and today not only was the battery dead in less than 6 hours, but the phone had used all of the data from my limited data plan. I have not installed anything and never had a launcher or any other thing of the sort. No lagfix, nothing.

Now I went with a factory reset, since that is clearly recommendable after any os installation (or before actually) and will see how it goes from here...

Also, the phone would not recognize my sim card at times, so I'd have to reboot to get it working, sometimes more than once... That, however, seems to have been solved with the factory reset...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jahfry:
I had massive drop from around 45% to under 10% in an hour last night. I figured it was a glitch after the upgrade so I did a full charge with the phone on, then powered it off. "full" charge powered on turned out to be around 95%, the remaining 5% charged while it was off.

After doing that and then powering back on, I've found my battery life today (first full day after update) to be pretty good so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sircaper:
The location consent prompt has always been there since eclair and is part of how google collects data on locations and cell towers. Like you said, it pays to turn off unless you're using the maps or other location dependent app.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
Ok was running Axura 2.3.1.0 tried to downgrade to Modem FWare KA7 [because KB1 was very slow with data] using ODIN 1.81

Couldnt or wouldnt load it, tried to get the phone outa DL mode and into recovery mode

Apparently, it turned off while in DL mode, and now the phone wont do anything except turn off, and when trying to get it to boot up, all I see now is a picture of a cell phone dot dot yellow triangle with exclamation character dot dot and picture of computer.

phone wont go into recovery mode, done a battery pull and all suggested methods, ODIN, BayWolf's program nothing will interact with it!

Is this a soft brick or a hard one, and is there a simple way or anyway to get it to go into boot mode and turn back on?

Haven't seen this scenario in any threads Ive search thru all morning, need this phone back up ASAP. thanks!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseldown:
OK were up and running starting all over AGAIN!!

OK I guess my asking for help must not have been worthy enough for reply, However, the thread right above mine labeled "HELP seriously" Had the answer I needed, It enabled me to get linked USB wise NOT DL MODE though, With BayWolfs 2.5 ToolBox, and I did a restore back to Eclair 2.1.1 Phewww! thought the phone was hosed/bricked!! Anyway BayWolfs Program did the trick! Heimdall's or ODIN 1.81 wouldnt link or respond to the phone, If this program hadn't been available, with no answers from contributors, I might've been seriously lost! Anyway I got into this delimna by trying to downgrade the KB1 modem to KA6, I think Ill try mounting it to the ex SD and flash it from there! I did as whats been read with ODIN, installed the PIT file, selected the tar file labeled KA7 , phone was in DL mode, but that's where the confusion lays with me, cause I see two different Instructions [from threads including video tutorials] on where to mount the modem file for flashing, some say no pit just the phone bar, others say must use pit but mount the modem file to the PDA bar! WTF!! Why is there NO uniform Instructions for a sure fire method that works with 0 defects, irregardless of how buggy ODIN my be? Does any one know for certain exactly how and what to do step wise with ODIN which would apply to Heimdalls program as well? I had problems flashing to Axura using BayWolfs toolbox ironically , yet it saved my ass in getting my phone un-stuck otherwise!

Anyway I still want to try other modems other than the KB1 thats with Axura 2.3.1.0 and try different modems like KA6 which was fast with Froyo 2.2 or try KA7 and try to get the speed back up, as well as the improved reception telephony and GPS wise!

Anyone tried the RockPlayer app on Honeycomb?

That's one of the reasons why I got one, watching my .mkv movies without have to transcode them.

RockPlayer + mkv works PERFECT on my Evo, loved it so much, I paid $10 to buy the app! :D

*which is still cheaper than a movie ticket where i live :(
[Xoom General] BBalz:
Yes...

I've tried MKV and Rock but no luck. I get video flawlessly but no audio. If I get audio it's really low voice (kind of like a bad kid napping movie calling the police type :P)

Sadly I think we need to convert video files to an exact format/type.

At least that's what I've gathered.
[Xoom General] bwcorvus:
If you search the forum you will see about 1 million post about this. Xoom and rockplayer work just fine. That being said, some people can get files to play, others can't.
[Xoom General] Neo3D:
Sorry, I did a search and there were no posts about Xoom and RockPlayer. Plenty of posts about RockPlayer working on GTab and other devices tho.

But it's good to know that it works fine! :D
[Xoom General] AndroidFileHost:
rockplayer isnt optimzed for tegra yet but it does work. Not sure if theres any apps that are programed to use 2 cores
[Xoom General] blozout:
Unfortunately it's still file specific. Overall MKV's and high quality mp4's are struggling even with Rockplayer, vPlayer, etc...but certain mkv files and mp4's with specific encoding are working. we need to keep our fingers crossed for software patches fixing these issues.
[Xoom General] Scoop24:
u guys should try Vplayer. see if that works. I dont have a xoom yet but usually when rock player gives me problems with movie files on my phone. Vplayer always plays it perfect.
[Xoom General] keitht:
Tried vplayer, qqplayer, rockplayer. No love.
[Xoom General] muyoso:
Its a Tegra 2 issue. It is unable to decode high profile h.264 video, which almost ALL mkv files and h.265 video is due to its superior compression. It can only decode baseline profile h.264. I am unsure if it can decode high profile 720p video, but I wouldn't bet on it. Basically, the Tegra 2 is awful for media playback compatibility, and no one seems to be prodding Nvidia or mentioning it at all in the media.
[Xoom General] galtom:
In a different thread there is a bit different info about this issue (quite depperesing I have to say):
[Xoom General] muyoso:
To be fair, I don't have a Xoom to test media on, so I am just going by reports from other people/outlets. I am amazed that a bigger deal hasn't been made about this glaring flaw though in the tech blogs.
[Xoom General] galtom:
Same here. This should be shouted loud and clear! Watching movies is one of the first thing 99% of ppl will want to do on the very first evening...

If I would find out that I just spent $800 on something that will not it (ever) + has a lot of other thing "coming soon" I would be.... upset :-) (and back to shop next morning).

Lets face it... just for mobile web browsing without flash there are cheaper devices... (much cheaper).
[Xoom General] Ballzdeeeper:
With the rockplayer I had no probs with MKV. It would play divx avi, but no audio. It would not play H.264 mp4.

The honeycomb player had no problems with mp4
[Xoom General] Flaunt77:
The Tegra 2 CANNOT play HIGH PROFILE 1080p - it CAN however play ANYTHING lower - this includes 1080p low and medium profile AND all 720p profiles.

The problems that people are having are due to CODECS and nothing more..
